The domain of a function means:

"what x values are possible?"

The range of a function means:

"what y values are possible?"

This difference is just which variable you care about.

For example:

take the equation y=x^2. this is a simple parabola that you hopefully know. the range is anything greater than or equal to 0 because the graph stays above the axis so y is greater than zero. The domain is all real numbers because no matter what x values you choose, a y value exists.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
